A neighborhood in the Toovey Heights area of Kelowna has had several instances of vehicle break and enters in the recent past. On May 19th a car was entered on the 1400 block of Bentien Road and a purse containing bank and credit cards and other ID was taken. One of the cards was used around 1:28 a.m. at a nearby convenience store, but video only shows a Caucasian male wearing a baseball cap tapping to pay and leaving quickly. Another vehicle at the same address had the lock punched but nothing stolen. Nearby on Toovey Road a Chevy Tahoe was entered at about 1:45 (an alarm sounded).
